Darius Goes West is an acclaimed independent documentary film (it won more than 28 awards!) about the first ever cross-country trip of fifteen-year-old Darius Weems, who has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, the world's primary genetic killer of children. The goal of Darius and eleven college-age young men is to reach Los Angeles and convince MTV's "Pimp My Ride" to customize Darius' wheelchair. Together they learn about friendship, and the simple joys of living in this heartfelt and educational true-life story. An excellent film especially ideal for school and public library DVD collections as well as for family viewing, Darius Goes West is highly recommended. Seventeen dollars, or more than four-fifths of the twenty dollar purchase price of Darius Goes West goes to Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy research. 94 minutes.
